SPARKLING WINES:

Grandial Brut: A light, and elegant sparkling wine with fine bubbles and a youthful mouthfeel. It’s refreshing, crisp and dry. Perfect to sip on its own or enjoy with a splash of OJ!

WHITE WINES:

Lobster Reef Sauvignon Blanc: A gorgeous ode to Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. It’s beautifully balanced and refreshing with notes of grapefruit, lemon, and tropical fruits. It’s fresh and tasty!

Galerna Verdejo: Organic, biodynamic, and oh-so delicious! This refreshing Spanish white is full of ripe citrus and floral notes. It’s easy to sip and enjoy on a hot summer day. Pro tip: pair it with oysters! 

Barbi Orvieto: A true Italian gem! This white has breathtaking notes of citrus, minerality, and green apples. It’s slightly sweet but showcases mouthwatering acidity and a dry finish.

ROSÉ WINES:

Paul D Zweigelt: Utterly delicious with zesty cherry and red berry fruit on the nose and then generous flavors of bright cherry and raspberry and lifting touch of orange peel.

Landhaus Meyer: Opening notes of fine citrus and Wild berry notes. Spicy and harmonious on the palate with a very drinkable structure.

Barnard Griffin: Dry, bright, crisp and refreshing. Impressive, assertive aromas and flavors of melon rind and strawberry with hints of raspberry and pomegranate. Fun fact: made from 100% Sangiovese grapes!

RED WINES:

Adegamae ‘Dory’ Blend: A rich and delicious blend from Portugal! It’s medium-bodied with notes of flavorful red fruit, light spice, and a tiny hint of oak. Not to be missed, this is a great bang for your buck!

The Atom Cabernet Sauvignon: Lush, flavorful, and balanced. This fresh and youthful wine has aromas and flavors of red fruit and wood. A great wine to enjoy with takeout from your favorite pizza place and friends!

Unsorted Pinot Noir: One of Jen’s favorite wines! She likes it so much she describes it as, “a fairytale for your taste buds, fresh picked berries mingle with spicy white pepper and coriander.” Who can argue with that?!

Los Medanos Bonarda: Hints of red fruits like strawberry, in good harmony with coffee, chocolate and French oak notes. By mouth, it has an elegant structure, it is soft and it has a sweet finish.

Marques de Borba Red Blend: Rich and robust with dark red fruits that jump from the glass and seamless meld into a soft creamy, vanilla spice ending. It’s soft with a creamy mouthfeel.

Brancott Pinot Noir: Light, bright and cherry! That is what this Pinot Noir from New Zealand is. It has a nice vibrancy with notes of cranberry, raspberry and a hint of spice.

The Cocoa Merlot: This is not a heavy-weight wine, but it overwhelms with the aroma of dark berries and full chocolate notes… you really get what is written on the bottle.

Silk & Spice Red Blend: A fan favorite! One of our best-sellers. Our friends love it because it’s bursting with ripe fruit, hints of vanilla, mocha and spices, balanced taste with soft tannins. Divine!
